Panhysterectomy: A surgical intervention for cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex in Great Dane

Abstract

A female Great Dane was presented to Veterinary Clinical Complex (VCC) showing symptoms of mucopurulent white vaginal discharge. Cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) with open cervix pyometra was diagnosed based on history, clinical examination, complete blood count, biochemical test and ultrasonography. Initially, the animal was treated with ceftriaxone @ 15 mg/kg body weight (BW) and supportive fluid therapy for the next 5 days, there was no improvement in the clinical condition of the bitch. Pan hysterectomy was performed under dissociative anaesthesia.
